Mystery ride - West (and North). Sat 11 August.

**86GSXR** · 6th August 2007, 21:56

For some time I've been checking out some great roads around Fordell, Hunterville, Papanui Junction way. They are sealed, very windy, very scenic, and just look FAB.

We could make a day of it and try them out. If you're keen just post up and I'll work on a route and try it out on Saturday.

OK! I think a ride like this will be quite a long one. So an 8.30 departure from Ashhurst sounds good! I'll do all the route planning at work (hi speed net) and get up an idea of distance/time asap!

of course it is...chuck some knobblies on and we'll be sweet!!

maybe not....

bloody google maps road layout is all up the shitter anyway, its only good for main roads really

our usual route to SH1 will be just dandy then we'll see where Al takes us - but if we end up in Ohakune and come down SH4 i'll be grinning, never ridden it but i've driven it and its a damn fine bit o' road
